Takatsugawa is an everyday sake from Shimane's Fusozuru. Full-bodied and full of flavor when cold. Warmed up, it is a warm and mild sake. It goes well with solid everyday dishes and can also be drunk with oshiruko (soup stock). It is a soft, matured sake with a low price, and I love its mellow, umami taste.

Suddenly my tooth was not feeling well and I had to go to the dentist in a hurry. This time there was no anesthesia and no pain, so I went to an event at the Hanshin Department Store that was being held. I bought my favorite Japanese sweets at the event and drank sake to go with them. The wagashi I chose was an easy-to-eat warabimochi. The kinako (soybean flour) was done to a strong flavor and was not too sweet. I had the sake I chose heated. The sake is aged for 2 to 3 years before being bottled at the best drinking time, so the hot sake had a delicious flavor that enhanced the caramel and nutty taste. When I saw the aged color, I thought it wouldn't go well with warabimochi (rice cakes), but it went well with kinako (soybean flour) and was delicious.

The sake is brewed by "Toroki Shouten", a sake brewer who was involved in growing the rice and brewing it together with Wakatakeya Sake Brewery. I got it as a sign of support 😊 Is it what's called a light, dry taste? It had a faintly sweet aroma, but the sip was refreshingly watery! The flavor and bitterness come out on the palate. I was drinking it with cream cheese as an entrée, but it doesn't get in the way, so it's probably just right for a mid-meal drink 😊.

Showa songs were playing, and the senior members of the audience were drunkenly talking about what an erotic voice sounds like, but I was smiling as I drank my sake. It is hard. It was the first time I had used it, but it was a strong sake. It is not an old taste, but it is not to everyone's taste. In my opinion, an erotic voice is something that doesn't give you a sense of comfort, and I think it has a sharp image. I like the label. Except for the difficulty of taking pictures. I wish I could take better pictures. It is easy to drink. I thought I might get drunk if I am used to drinking, but I wanted to have another glass.

Purchase from Okuhida Sake Brewery This sake brewery is within walking distance of Hida Kanayama Station. This time, they recommended to purchase by letter. I am a sucker for limited editions, so I bought it. The aroma is moderate and the taste is strong. It is dry with a clean aftertaste. I paired it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. I had it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. It had a strong flavor, but because it was dry, I think it would go well with western food. I think it goes well with western food. It has a nice aftertaste.

Perhaps because I quite liked Miharukoma, which I drank just before, I felt that Yukikomachi was habitual. However, I liked the fact that it was dry and refreshing.

I have an early summer vacation 😆. I enjoy going on historical trips, and this time I plan to go from Omi Nagahama to Kohoku and enter Kyoto from Saba Kaido (mackerel road). The hotel we stayed at is a buffet and you can drink all the Junmai you want from Kohama. It's a good deal. ‼️ is enough for a buffet 🤣It has a light sharpness and a slight bitterness. The best way to get the most out of it is to buy a new one. I am satisfied. The interesting thing about Omi is that there are amazing things on display in places that seem like they are nothing. This time, we visited Mikakaku, a facility that exhibits relics of Chishokuji (abandoned temple), which was amazing... 🥺Asai documents and Buddhist statues from the Heian period were all around. We made friends with the volunteer interpreter and stayed for 2 hours. The photo shows Kotani Castle and the bridge where Mitsunari Ishida is said to have been captured, as one of the volunteers told us.

My wife and I took a short trip to Shiga Prefecture (5) The last sake of the night was Kohama special junmai sake from Sato Shuzo. First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong. The moment I felt the sweetness in my mouth, I was immediately hit with bitterness. The menu listed the sake as slightly sweet, but I found it to be dry and very drinkable.

Sake I got on a business trip to Hamamatsu. It has been a long time since I have been on a business trip, and it has been a long time since I have had a drink with people I have met, and I do not want the world to be a place where Corona gets in the way of meeting people. The name of this sake, "Dezejo," is an alias of Hamamatsu Castle, named after the successive lords of the castle who succeeded Ieyasu, many of whom rose to important positions in the Edo Shogunate. It is a traditional dry sake, that feeling of a hot throat. Hamamatsu is also the setting for a major TV drama, and Hamamatsu is hot and exciting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A brand that is no longer in existence, Ippiki. It seems to be refreshing, but comes with a gusto. It's not a sparkling sake, but it has a refreshing tanginess. Interesting sake. Kangiku is now the top sake in Chiba, but Ikki (now Koshi) used to be the best. It is a pity that this brand is no more!

The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.
